I was experimenting with a script to turn inet services on and off.
It's a a lot more complex than stuff I've done before. It seems to
work when using a copy of ited.conf in /home  but doesn't work when
I change FILE to point to /etc/inetd.conf

It's run by supplying a services name and on or off
eg

./switch.sh ftp on





#!/bin/bash -x
#
echo switch.sh
FILE="inetd.conf"
#
grep  $1 $FILE
#
if [ "$2" = "on" ];then
  echo Turn $1 on
  REPL="s/^#"$1"/"$1"/g"
else
  echo Turn $1 off
  REPL="s/"^$1"/#"$1"/g"
fi
#
find . -name $FILE -type f -exec perl -pi -e $REPL {} \;
#
grep $1 $FILE


I cobbled it together from various internet suggestions, there
may be a better way to do this.
